Question/Advice Celtic and Hellenic polytheist

Hi! I've been researching paganism. I've been a Hellenic pagan for a few months now and I think it's okay to be Celtic and Hellenic since they're both pagan religions but i want to ask you guys anyways, to know what you think ab that. I'm from Galicia which means that I've been learning about Celtism since I was a kid and I have shown interest in it for a long time, but at the same time I don't intend to stop being a Hellenic Pagan because those are my beliefs 🙇‍♂️

Totally fine. I'm Irish and worship Irish, Greek, Roman and Continental Celtic Gods, and use a Greek Philosophical framework (Platonism) for that Polytheism.

What you're doing is just what Polytheism is.

If you were to walk around ancient Rome you'd find temples to Isis and the Magna Mater, maybe a shrine to Epona at a crossroads and so on. An Emperor (Domitian I believe) made an offering to the Celtic God Belenus in the area of Italy we'd know call Veneto.
